The Nest is Full

Life can be so unpredictable! Just when you think life is stable situations change and you start over again. My youngest son Brock is temporarily moving home, so that means shifting things all over the place. He will be in the downstairs guest room which is painted in these incredibly bright shades of salmon...it is fondly called the Mexican room.

The guest room is really only in use as such maybe 8 times a year so it is really my craft room. My daughter-in-law volunteered to help pack up all the yarn I have and it took up a queen size comforter bag, a super size expandable suitcase, a giant Costco recycling bag, and other assorted shopping bags. Plus, we left one wall unit section full because it wasn't too heavy to carry.

The up side to this is that I will be able to really organize my stuff while putting it away, for the most part I do have specific projects in mind for almost all of it.

I also have a quilting cabinet filled with fabrics, gift wrap, things that need mending, patterns that are pinned but not cut and more yarn.

Then there are the boxes of my beads, cross-stitch books, hook latch materials, and random craft projects I never finished.

By the way on Friday I went to A Grand Yarn and purchased 8 more skeins of yarn to knit up into adorable kid legwarmers that I plan to sell on Etsy.

Of course that takes a lot more time organizing but I will get to that when I get there!
